Afternoon Show

Famous quotes containing the words afternoon and/or show:

    Then suddenly the noon turns afternoon
    And afternoon like an ill-written page
    Will fade, until the very stain of light
    Gathers in all the venom of the night
    The equilibrium of the thirtieth age.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)

    Myths, as compared with folk tales, are usually in a special category of seriousness: they are believed to have “really happened,” or to have some exceptional significance in explaining certain features of life, such as ritual. Again, whereas folk tales simply interchange motifs and develop variants, myths show an odd tendency to stick together and build up bigger structures. We have creation myths, fall and flood myths, metamorphose and dying-god myths.
    Northrop Frye (1912–1991)
